Women's Wellbeing, Patient Empowerment and Mental Health & Wellbeing projects at Mosaic Community Trust
The Mosaic Community Trust’s Women’s Well-Being Project seeks to empower women who are socially disadvantaged. As women are usually the primary care givers in the community, we believe that by empowering women we will make a lasting effect on the community at large. We aim to take a holistic approach to our work, by collaborating with other existing agencies to address some of the key factors around health and well-being such as stress, anxiety, parenting, social and cultural barriers, domestic violence, reproductive and sexual health, diet, hypertension and diabetes.
